Messing around the greens today, I took a square stance and opened up the blade on my 56 SW........then just made very short backstroke with a punch through impact and a very short follow through. The ball flew very high and stopped on a dime. It was like a flop shot but without the big swing. I found I could vary the distance by just adding more or less lag pressure. I would say it was very close to the Basic Motion stroke in terms of length.

Pretty cool.

Yoda has made mention that Homer didn't like Vertical hinging for the big flop shot. Your use of the angled hinging punch may be how Homer prefered to hit them high and soft.

Machining - got to love it.
